Oh lord I'm not sure I can take another month. Saying that, what even is happening in parliament right now? Are they doing stuff or waiting for the Tory conference to be over? When do we get to see Boris attempt another PMQs, fail miserably and the guardian to call it a draw??

Jebus, I know not having a job sucks and all but can you imagine having to work with someone as insufferable as that for more than a week? I feel very lucky to have largely worked in public sector type jobs where having the darkest, blackest sense of humour is the primary coping mechanism. Also I have zero ability to manage my facial expressions and am 100% sure that I would also have been sacked for the look of utter disgust and bemusement I shot her way even if I managed to keep my mouth shut. Good luck getting yer old job back for now!

On matters not pertaining to crispchat, where are we in the timeline of when Boris is supposed to send the letter about no-no-deal to the EU? That’s gotta be this week right?

Pesmerga posted:He has to send the letter if there’s no deal agreed by the Saturday sitting of parliament. That requires a deal concluded that is approved by the Commission and EU Council (Thursday and Friday this week) that is then approved by Parliament on Saturday. If it fails at either of those hurdles, he’s obliged to send it on the 19th. Is anyone anywhere genuinely thinking that a deal will be reached now? I’m curious what people who voted leave thinking we’d strike some kind of deal are thinking now. Everything seems to have been taken over by no deal screeching though I’m not even sure where I’d find those people.

OwlFancier posted:Worst PM delivers worst speech in keeping with established pattern of worstness isn't that earth shattering What was anyone expecting? He’s been incompetent at everything he’s ever done to the point of being fired sometimes. Every speech he’s made as PM has been drivel but still the MSM will portray him as ‘delivering the will of the people’ or something...

WhatEvil posted:Here's some politics: This is actually a very illuminating picture that illustrates why people without a healthy critical eye think the way they do about the current situation if they scan the headlines. BBC not actually providing any critique of the queens speech content just that it’s an election manifesto. Brexit still being presented as a thing that’s seriously being negotiated and a possibility. Labour in the headlines as being in conflict. Takeaway: burn the bbc to the ground?

Agh this makes me so mad, like she just blatantly says that JC is 'consorting' with antisemites. holocaust deniers and terrorists, that antisemitism has become 'mainstream' under JC. Is any of that actually true? Where is the evidence? How can she get away with just saying that stuff like it's 100% true? And if anyone questions it then we're the antisemitic ones right?

Well gently caress you because we WON very BADLY and have no chance against any other teams because we suck so THERE.

Ms Adequate posted:As shite and melty as Trudeau is, I'm glad the predictions of Conservative victory are proving false. If he's minority hopefully the NDP can be kingmakers and try to keep him honest. (Though in all fairness to blackface boy, what I've seen suggests he did make a sincere effort on most of his campaign promises, it's just... they could be more ambitious promises.) Yeah it looks like a liberal NDP thing is the most likely. I'm sad that the liberals are the only real contender to Tories here though, I mean imagine if it was basically Tory Vs lib dem here?? Wouldn't motivate many people looking for change. He did good on some of his promises but hosed over a lot of them like the pipeline and electoral reform, not minor things. Also I am very upset at the last few pages as it's making me question whether my Welsh hatred of the England rugby team is actually cool and good, and I don't like it one bit.

WhatEvil posted:The NDP who are nominally the more left-wing party shifted right at the last election to try to take votes from the liberals, and it didn't work. NDP need a Corbs to pull things left. It'll be depressing as hell when I am able to vote here and just have all these fucknugget options.

Ms Adequate posted:Where on earth are you? I've been to the arse end of nowhere, Montana, and barely even saw cash (Outside restaurants) because everything was contactless. Even though I'm in Vancouver, a huge city, and most stuff you actually buy is by card/contactless, lots of stuff is still done by cheque. It's weird, although at least I'm paid by direct deposit. In election focused chat, I think what might be really important is the ability to talk about and challenge the idea that the Lib Dems will just save everything and we'll remain in the EU and be rosy and lovely. Anyone got any links or ideas?
